Complete shot in the dark, but has anyone applied to Shearman & Sterling's International Arbitration Internship, and heard back?

For DLA piper’s summer internship does the WG test come automatically after submitting or is it sent after assessing the application?

What proportion of TCs go to direct applicants versus those who do Vac Schemes for Ashurst, Baker McKenzie, Hogan Lovells, Macfarlanes, Norton Rose Fulbright and Travers Smith?

Old stats but will give you some idea

Do you guys have any info as to what proportion of people are successful for direct TC applications on the final partner interview stage?

Graduate recruitment would never provide that information. General rule will be that grad rec teams would hope that they would only need to assess anywhere between 2.0-3.5 candidates per vacancy for the final stage recruitment processes. However it could be lower or higher than that, typically depending on how many stages the candidate has had to go through before the final stage.

But ultimately if you interviewed 10 people and they were all not good enough, you’d just interview another 10 and just be peeved that you wasted the time interviewing the first 10, and wondering what went wrong with the earlier stages of the recruitment process.

Also, can I ask when A&O rejected you, did they e-mail you? Someone from TSR told me they found out through the dashboard(I've asked if they heard back through e-mail as well and did not get a response yet).

Just checked my dash board and it still says under review , on the same day I submitted(and did my SJT!)- so was wondering if their response type is uniform

Thank you!

The last few rejections I’ve gotten from them (also applied for other full time jobs), it’s said rejected on the dashboard for a few days before I eventually get an email about it!

I just got a rejection email... feeling a bit disheartened that I can’t even get an open day place!

 

[Andrewp]

Anyone heard from Goodwin or Dentons?

Hi all

I was rejected too for one of the open days! Are you eligible for any of their specialist open days?

Out of interest when was your second round interview/when did they tell you about it? I know they didn't finish the first round interviews until last Wednesday so I'm surprised they've already started their second round ones.

My second round was last week, I only got 4 days notice. I also know a few people who had it on Friday last week.

Haven't heard anything since the application confirmation email

 

[Numerius Negidius]

Has anyone else heard back (or heard nothing) from BM? I've been staring at my email for the past hour to no avail...
